Created a program to support Wifi SD card for Resmed and all other devices - narual - 08-26-2023
I needed to do a practice project with Python. I got bored and annoyed with the options in the training course after I got the basics.
I've had ezshare wifi cards in my Airsense 11 and my wife's Aircurve 10 since I found a reference to them on here. But I found the available shell scripts to be unreliable, gave up and just treated them like normal SD Cards.
So... I figured I'd try and tackle a Python program that would do the job.
https://github.com/JCOvergaar/CPAP-data-from-EZShare-SD/
I only had Resmed cards to work with (I'm still nagging my buddy to loan me a card from his Philips machine), so I was only able to make a generic version for other systems.
The Resmed-specific version allows you to customize the start date for download, whether to overwrite things, etc.
Since I know nothing about the formats of SD cards for other systems, the generic one doesn't have any features like that.
Both of them have an option to make it easier to use on a Mac by automatically switching wifi networks and back. Other systems require elevated permissions for this and looked like a pain to include.
Feel free to fork or whatever if you want to add specific functionality in support of other system's data formats
Hope this is useful to someone!
(There are lots of places to buy the ezshare cards on eBay or aliexpress and other sites, here's the specific listing I purchased mine from:

I get a 404 error from your GitHub URL. Working backwards, all I could find was cfdocs.

Oops! Sorry about that. First time I’ve published something to GitHub. Should be set to public now

what's the advantage of a wifi card? thanks!

It allows you to keep the SD-card in the CPAP machine and read the card over WiFi, rather than taking it out and inserting into a SD-card reader in your PC each time you want to see your data.
Currently there's two separate PC software options that we offer for free on Apnea Board. These have been around for a while and may have limited or no support for some machines:

NOTE: You'll need to purchase something like the Toshiba FlashAir II (or newer) Wireless SD card for those to work.

Note that those currently run several hundred dollars, if you can find them at all.
Hence, the ezShare card choice.

Thanks gents, that's pretty neat!

You can find a few for around $100 still.. Here's one for $93:

eBay has a few of them listed as well under $100.
But yeah, I get it that the ezShare cards are a lot cheaper. Glad you've worked on a cheaper solution.

Greetings from Downunder.
Thanks for putting this together. If I can get it to work it would be just what I need!
I'm running Windows 10 on a desktop PC. I have the white 32gb EzShare WiFi card. I'm using a Resmed Airsense 11 CPAP. I'm using a tp-link AC1300 WiFi USB dongle to connect to the EzShare card.
I've confirmed a connection to the EzShare card by entering "http://192.168.4.1/dir?dir=A:" in my Firefox browser, which gives a directory listing and allows a drill down to any of the files currently on the card.
I have no experience working with Python.
I carefully followed the instructions on your Github site regarding the installation of Python 3 and the additional required libraries. All appeared to go well and updated to the latest version: Python 3.12.0 (tags/v3.12.0:0fb18b0, Oct 2 2023, 13:03:39) [MSC v.1935 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32.
I downloaded "ezshare_resmed.py" and "ezshare_generic.py" and patched them (using Notepad) to set USE_NETWORK_SWITCHING to False.
Running either of them results in a briefly opened window which closes quickly without any information or result.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
